Proteins

Question 1

assist your body in creating new cells
and repairing existing ones.
● provide structural support, biochemical
catalysts, hormones, enzymes, building
blocks, and trigger cellular death.

Answer 1

Proteins

Question 2

What is the monomer of
PROTEINS?

Answer 2

Amino Acid

Question 3

Greek word “proteios” meaning

Answer 3

First place

Question 4

Proteins are important in the structure
of the cells; they serve as

Answer 4

○ Gene activators
○ Membrane receptors
○ Transporters
○ Clotting factors, etc.

Question 5

SEVEN MAJOR
CLASSES OF PROTEINS

Answer 5

1. Structural Protein
2. Contractile Protein
3. Storage Protein
4. Defensive Protein
5. Transport Protein
6. Signal Protein
7. Enzymes

Question 6

● Found in the hair of mammals
● Fiber that makes up the tendons and
ligaments
Keratin, collagen, and elastin are
examples of structural proteins.

Answer 6

Structural Protein

Question 7

● Proteins that provide muscular
movement

Answer 7

Contractile Protein

Question 8

● Such as ovalbumin, the main substance
of egg white

Answer 8

Storage Protein

Question 9

● includes antibodies that promote
protection against foreign bodies

Answer 9

Defensive Protein

Question 10

● includes antibodies that promote
protection against foreign bodies

Answer 10

Defensive Protein

Question 11

includes hemoglobin, the
iron-containing protein in the blood that
transports oxygen from the lungs to the
other parts of the body.

Answer 11

Transport Protein

Question 12

Such as hormones which help
coordinate body activities

Answer 12

Signal Protein

Question 13

Serves as the chemical catalyst that
changes the rate of chemical reactions

Answer 13

Enzymes

Question 14

Amino acids are linked by a peptide
bond also called the

Answer 14

Amide Bond

Question 15

FOUR STRUCTURES
OF PROTEINS

Answer 15

Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quarternary

Question 16

● the simplest level of protein structure
● is simply the sequence of amino acids
in a polypeptide chain.
● is attached together by a covalent pr
peptide bonds.
● this process is done during the
biosynthesis or translation

Answer 16

Primary Structure

Question 17

the most common types
of secondary structures
are the α

Answer 17

helix and the β
pleated sheet.

Question 18

Is the overall three-dimensional
structure of a polypeptide
● Is primarily due to interactions between
the R groups of the amino acids that
make up the protein.

Answer 18

Tertiary structure

Question 19

The quaternary structure of a protein is the
association of several protein chains or
subunits into a closely packed
arrangement.
● Each of the subunits has its own primary,
secondary, and tertiary structure

Answer 19

Quarterly structure

Question 20

Protein serve us;

Answer 20

● Structural support
● Biochemical catalysts
● Hormones
● Enzymes
● Building blocks
● Initiators of cellular death

Question 21

● Known as immunoglobulins
(lg), these are Y-shaped
proteins that help in
protecting the body by
fighting all foreign bodies
called antigens.
● Example:
Immunoglobulin G (IgG)

Answer 21

Anti body

Question 22

are proteins that
transmit signals to coordinate biological
processes between different cells,
tissues, and organs.
Example: Growth hormone

Answer 22

Messenger Protein

Question 23

● These are a type of protein that
provides structure and support for cells.
● Example: Actin, Myosin

Answer 23

Structural Components

Question 24

● These are proteins that bind and carry
molecules within the cells and
throughout the body
● Example: Ferritin

Answer 24

Transport Storage

Question 25

The process of making protein from RNA.

Answer 25

Protein Synthesis

Question 26

There are two steps of protein Synthesis;

Answer 26

○ Transcription where DNA is copied to
RNA
○ Translation where ribosomes read the
RNA to make proteins.
